Finding Harmony PodcastEmbracing Feminine Energy in Ashtanga Yoga PracticeWhat if the yoga practice you love isn’t actually working for you?
For years, women have molded themselves to fit the rigid structure of Ashtanga yoga—waking up at the crack of dawn, practicing through exhaustion, sidelining their intuition to follow the “correct” method. But what if we could embrace a softer, more fluid, more feminine approach to the practice without losing its power?
That’s exactly what The Ashtanga Women’s Project is all about, and in this episode, Harmony sits down with its founder, Carmen Yagüe, to unpack what it means to show up fu...2025-02-181h 00Yoga Inspiration#197: Tristhana Unveiled: Breath, Body, and Mind in Ashtanga Yoga with Kino & TimJoin Kino and Tim as they explore Tristhana, the foundational framework of Ashtanga Yoga that unites breath, body, and mind.

Yoga Inspiration#195: Discipline, Method and Studentship in Ashtanga YogaWith set sequences, rules, and repetitions, Ashtanga is often seen as a devotion to discipline. But if you look closely, it is a delicate orchestration where breath, movement, and focus unite to reveal the clarity within. In today’s episode, we reflect on the purpose behind the method, exploring how every inhale, every exhale, and every asana carries intention. Ashtanga challenges us to set aside rebellion, ego, and the need to control, humbling us and inviting trust in the wisdom of the practice rather than forcing outcomes. Through this lens, Ashtanga becomes more than a ph...2025-01-241h 10

Yoga Inspiration#191: Accessibility in Ashtanga: Honoring Tradition And Embracing All BodiesAshtanga Yoga reminds us that practice is not about perfection, it’s about presence. And while this truth features throughout life’s ups and downs, let’s take a moment to reflect on this through the lens of accessibility. There is, after all, great power in offering adaptations that make the practice available to all bodies and abilities… And what does it mean to stay connected to practice through aging, injury, or self-doubt anyway?
